Folder Overview

Introduction

The 8830 Folder is a finishing device which allows prints to

be folded or stacked. The folder’s two modes of operation

are Fold Mode and No Fold Mode.

When in the Fold Mode, B, C, D, E, and longer-size bond

prints are folded into an A-size format. This provides easy

storage and filing of the folded prints. A-size prints will pass

through the folder to maintain integrity of the folded sets.

Note: Film/mylar and vellum cannot be folded.

When in the No Fold Mode, or Stacking Mode, the folder

does not fold the prints which are delivered to the folder by

the 8830 printer. The prints are stacked in sequential order

on the bridge of the folder.

To help you understand the 8830 Folder, some of the

commonly used terms are explained as follows:

Finished size: The print will be folded to A size.

Fan fold: This is the first of the two folds in

the folding process. A maximum of eight

(8) first folds can be made.

Cross fold: This is the second fold of the

folding process and it is at right angles to

the first fold. A maximum of two second

folds can be made.

Fan fold only: The finished copy is size A

width, but all the panels may not be equal

in size. A binding margin is available with

the ANSI style folder.

A-size drawings should be fed in the long-

edge feed (LEF) direction and with the title

block as shown in order to obtain the

correct orientation in finished sets.

Folder Overview

Introduction

(continued)

B-size drawings should be fed in the short-

edge feed (SEF) direction and with the title

block as shown in order to obtain the

correct orientation in finished sets.

C-size drawings should be fed in the long-

edge (LEF) direction and with the title block

as shown in order to obtain the correct

orientation in finished sets.

In order to properly fold D- and E-size

prints, D-size and E-size drawings should

be fed in the short-edge feed (SEF)

direction and with the title block trailing as

shown in the illustration to the left.

E-size and nonstandard size print widths which require

two cross folds are delivered to the Folder Print Basket

with the title block facing up.

The number and placement of folds is based on the type

of fold selected and the paper size. Refer to the Folding

Style reference charts for details on how the folds will

look.

Folder Overview

Operating Hints

When using the folder take the following precautions:

Before printing, be sure that:

− the media rolls are positioned correctly on the media

spools in the printer.

− the lead edge on the paper rolls are straight. If

necessary, trim the edge.

− the doors are not opened or that the program is

changed during folding.

− the bridge is in the correct operating position. The

bridge must be fully down and locked as shown.

Notes:

– In order to ensure that the correct size fold is obtained,

only the paper roll width shown in the

Copy Output

Folding

section should be used.

– The maximum, multiple, on-line, fan and cross folded

print length is 80 inches.

– Media smaller than C size must be standard sizes to

obtain correct folds.

– A and B size media is passed through the cross folder

and stacked in the tray.

– Different types of bond media may result in different

folding quality. Folding adjustment may be required.
